Notice – New Agricultural Active Constituent Approved Under Section 14A – Guar Gum
NOTICE – NEW AGRICULTURAL ACTIVE CONSTITUENT APPROVED UNDER SECTION
14A
Guar Gum
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is to add guar gum to the list of Active
Constituents Not Requiring Evaluation. Guar gum has been evaluated and has met the criteria under Section 14A of the
Agvet Code. It is intended to be listed as a modifier of viscosity with the identifier M(v).
Guar gum is a dietary fiber obtained from the endosperm of the Indian cluster bean. The endosperm can account for
more than 40% of the seed weight and is separated and ground to form commercial guar gum.
Guar is a galactomannan polysaccharide that forms a viscous gel when placed in contact with water. It forms solutions
that range from slightly acidic to neutral pH. Even at low concentrations (1% to 2%) guar gum forms gels in water.
The viscosity of these gels is generally unaffected by the pH of the solution.
Food grade guar gum contains ≈ 80% guaran (a galactomannan composed of D-mannose and D-galactose units) with
an average molecular weight of 220 kDa. However, guar gum is not a uniform product and its viscosity may vary in
proportion to the degree of galactomannan cross-linking.
Guar gum is not toxicologically significant to humans.
Common Name: guar gum
Scientific Name: Cyamopsis tetragonolobus
CAS Registry Number: 9000-30-0
Molecular Weight: 220000 approximately
Chemical Family: Glactomannan polysaccharide
Structure:
MAKING A SUBMISSION
In accordance with sections 12 of the Agvet Code, the APVMA invites any person to submit a relevant written submission
as to whether the intent to include guar gum on the list of Active Constituents Not Requiring Evaluation should be
proceeded with. Submissions should relate only to matters that the APVMA is required by legislation to consider in
deciding whether to grant the approval via the section 14A route. These grounds include chemistry and manufacture,
